OUR AIM ....... GOLF FOR ALL
The main aim of the Partnership is to bring golf to all sections of the community -- men, women and children -- and that includes those with special needs.
We are grateful for the tremendous support we receive in this venture from The Pied Piper Appeal and Active Gloucestershire
PARA GOLF SUCCESS
This time last year we were piloting our first Para project at Bettridge Special Needs School in Cheltenham….. and wondering whether or not the youngsters would enjoy golf.
To say that it was successful is an understatement, illustrated by the fact that now we have just completed no less than seven new projects using not only TriGolf but, for the first time, Golf Xtreme.
Our projects for 2010 were held at Bettridge and Belmont Schools in Cheltenham and Brimsham Green and Culverhill Schools in Yate, led by our Gloucestershire Professionals Dave Finch, Gareth Bennett, Bruce Wilson, Tom Pratt, Andrew Etherington and Adrian Smith and helped by our superb Volunteer Squad.
Some of the students progressed to moving out onto our courses, to get the feel of the real thing. Many thanks to Chipping Sodbury, Cleeve Cloud and Cirencester golf clubs for making this great experience possible.
The young people enjoyed the programme so much that, like Oliver Twist, they have asked for more! So we are planning a Festival of Skills for some time in September when they have returned to school after the summer holidays.
Watch this space for dates!
